A great thing about starting a new semester is that you get to start fresh . With new classes comes new opportunities to learn new things, meet new friends, and get good grades.

For many of you , this is your last semester in high school. Enjoy  it ! For  those of you going on to post secondary be sure to go over your applications thoroughly  and get them in on time

Be a mentor someone needs you !

Well, it’s time to get back to work and thinking about the exams that are coming up! There is no better time to make new year resolutions then the present.

Stay focused, you are writing YOUR future.

We aspire to be that place for high school and pre post secondary students, a place to find out the information you need in order to prepare for and make career and post secondary choices ( in an easy-to-read, entertaining fashion).

Our articles have been written by students and recent grads. There are 15 articles in total and they touch on everyday experiences in high school or first year of college or university. Articles are short and limited to 550 (ish) words. If you would like to write an article for us, or would like a topic discussed, let us know!

Coming Soon! ….. A list of programs and what kinds of jobs you can get with that degree!

In development… Our video data base is constantly expanding until completion. We have completed the first 3 categories under job videos. These videos are complete with schools offering correlating courses.  Remember, this will be the largest data base of its kind in Canada.

Everything you need to make informed education and career choices is within JobsPeopleDo.com.

Have the greatest day!

Be a mentor, someone needs you!

Doesn’t it seem like New Years when your going back to school? You’re full of hopes, promise, and new resolutions. You have  thoughts like: “I’m not going to be late this year, not even once” or “I’m going to focus, and get my work done” or “I’m going to be nice this year,  to everyone!”

This is a fun and exciting time of year.

For those of you starting high school this year – welcome! This is the beginning of your high school years -enjoy!  Get involved with your school because it’s lots of fun and you’ll meet great new friends. Take just 15  minutes at night to go over notes, and exams will be a breeze.

For those in the middle years, you’re lucky too! You’re settled, you know the school, you should know what works and what doesn’t.  These are the years when marks start to matter regarding your post secondary choices. Be sure to look at all types of careers, investigate, and experience as much as you can. Find your passions, and look for careers in that area.

Seniors, omg! This is your last year! You’ll remember this year forever. Be sure to find out what you need in terms of marks for getting accepted to your chosen post-secondary schools (find out early, and make a plan). Have fun, make memories, but remember, your choices this year will affect your future. Think first! Finally, you’re the senior, the grade 9ers will look young, and they’ll be looking up to you. Be a mentor!

Good luck everyone! Be the best you can be, and most of all, have fun and be SMART.
